Drink water, people.

Red Bull is way worse than soda for you to be drinking like that.

How?


If you were to compare it to eg. Sprite or something, yeah, fair enough; but Mountain Dew is caffienated.

That isn't true at all if one considers the statistics on crime in the U.S.

...Unless your measurements of what constitutes a "bad guy" has absolutely nothing to do with criminality, thereby contradicting literally everything associated with the nature of super-villains... then perhaps you'd be correct.

I think it's probably safe to assume that supervilliany and common crime aren't going to be too closely connected.

Fam_Fam was the one comparing fantasy make-believe to the real world. He's the one bringing it up, and there's nothing wrong with making that comparison, but his comparison is inaccurate.

The common characteristic of a "bad guy" is criminality and that extends to super-villains. Their crimes are usually on grander scale though... which is what makes them super-villains.

Why do I even have to explain this? I mean really. Why so disingenuous? I'm sure you know better.


It's a different kind of criminality, though. You don't see the same trends in those kind of massive evil plots as you would in, say, robbing a convenience store.

idk what point the TC is making, but Switch runs powerful enough for what it's meant to do. People aren't buying it to play max-specs-tier photorealistic games, they're buying it because it's fun and versatile and has a shit ton of games.


In all seriousness, this.

If you want power, you go Sony or Microsoft. Or, y'kno, PC.
If you want innovation, that's when you go Nintendo.

(And of course, an even more important factor, you go for the system that has the games you want.)


The difference this time is that the diminishing returns of GPU performance relative to perceptible game visuals means the Switch's graphics seem a lot more acceptably close to current-gen consoles than the Wii's ever did.

The PS2 era to the PS3 era was a -massive- jump in visual fidelity and game complexity.

Going from Xbox 360 to Xbox One (or PS3 to PS4) felt like an upgrade visually, but not really gameplay-wise. And even the visual upgrade was less impressive. I actually can't think of a single game that couldn't realistically be back-ported to the previous generation with a downgrade to textures and resolution. Hell, Bethesda basically did that with Doom on Switch. It works just fine enough that you don't feel like you're missing out that much.

I'd say the Switch's graphics are close enough to PS4/X1 that the added portability more than makes up for that gap.


But that isn't going to matter to someone who makes a big deal out of "muh specs".

any jrpgs with people that dont look like annoying anime characters?

Final Fantasy X seems like the best suggestion so far.

Is it anything like 13? 13 looked cool but it was too boring.


In terms of the storyline being linear, yes, although it's a much better linear storyline.
Gameplay wise, they could hardly be more different. FFX has a pretty unique battle system, off the top of my head I can only think of one other game (Lord of the Rings: The Third Age) that's similar.

On a side note, I don't know if it still is, but FFX was on quite a good sale on the Humble Store recently. Check there as well as Steam.

It's Mystile, not Aegis Armlet. Or it might have been "both, but Mystile is even better" - I do remember there being another one that was almost as good.

And no, it's not the magic evade, it's the magic defence that's bugged.

I haven't actually seen the reboot, but in general, I feel that adding a new character is much better than changing an existing one, at least in this kind of case. There's no logical reason for one of the PPGs to suddenly become black. (Compare eg. Captain America, which is more of a persona than an actual person, so there's no logical reason why when the current one steps down, the person who takes over couldn't be black.)


In general, yeah, I too feel it's better to introduce a character. But in this case, I kinda feel like it'd be better to make Buttercup black and move on with the story as it is than to upset the trio dynamic. I can't really see "Powerpuff Girls" as a four-girl team.

Having four team members is a better fit for something action oriented whereas three members is better for individual focus and comedic purposes.


If they really needed to stick with three, they could've maybe killed off (perhaps not literally killed, given the target audience) one of the existing ones.
